PREFACE 


To add one more to the already large number of books 
made up of selections from that vast treasure-house, the 
Shakespearean Plays, calls for an excuse. 

Numerous and excellent as such books are, there seems 
to be none limited to the modest scope of the present 
venture. 

All well known passages of length, however brilliant 
or impressive, have been passed over; only the witty 
Proverb, the telling Epigram, the humble old Saw, to- 
gether with pithy phrases and sentences—frequently 
quoted or very quotable—have been gleaned. 

Under a somewhat free classification, the material se- 
~., lected has been arranged in three sections, named— 


Partels Proverbs 
— Part II. Familiar Quotations 
S Part III. Epithets, Expletives, and Catch Phrases 


The purpose has been to produce a simple, inexpensive, 
little work that might serve as a handbook for students 
and lovers of the Great Dramas. 
It is also the compiler’s earnest hope that this modest 
volume, reviving so much that is or should be a part of 
~ our very literary consciousness, perhaps our sub-con- 
“sciousness, may prove particularly useful in the prepa- 
Sration of public speeches, students’ debates, and in liter- 
ary productions generally. A telling phrase or apt 
< quotation is often the winning stroke in debate, spéech

PREBPAGE 


or written argument. No writer has surpassed our Shake- 
speare in his use of just such expressions. And, should 
this little book contribute its mite toward the restoration 
of Shakespearean expressions in our current speech and 
language, the compiler would feel richly rewarded. 

A full index would well-nigh double the size of the 
book, and so—at least in part—defeat its very purpose. 
However, a brief index has been arranged, by means 
of which every quotation may be found. Usually the 
leading noun in a sentence is the index word—though 
sometimes a verb or a memory-compelling adjective has 
been used.

EY CRODUG ELON 


Every new handbook to Shakespeare reminds us 
afresh of the great debt which the English-speaking world 
owes to him. Mrs. Kaiser’s compilation, inasmuch as the 
material within the different sections is arranged by the 
individual dramas, demonstrates anew the universal quota- 
bility of Shakespeare and what a wealth of happy phrases 
may be found in every one of his plays. Among those 
who are lovers of Shakespeare this volume will find a 
ready place for itself, while those who like to trace the 
origins of our popular maxims will be impressed with the 
extent to which we are indebted to Shakespeare for the 
phrases in everyday use. Every user of this compilation 
will have toward the compiler a sense of grateful ob- 
ligation because of the patient labor of love which has 
made this work possible.
